I can’t link to Buster Simpson’s crows and fish, all over town in the ’80s, because he has no gallery and doesn’t link to them himself on his Website, but they remain a big part of my deepest first impressions of this place.

A couple of years ago, John Boylan coined the excellent phrase, “Fay Jones and the school of float.” I used it in a review, crediting him, here.

Later, James Harris pointed out to me that the school doesn’t belong to Jones. She’s a member, but when we’re talking about paintings that float, the founder in in the Northwest is Guy Anderson.
